Few things are more uncomfortable than dealing with dry, irritated, or flaky skin– especially during the colder months. Good thing there is a simple solution: an ultra-moisturizing body lotion.

Skincare doesn't stop at your face (or even your neck), and your body deserves the same level of care. From a rich body butter to luxurious oils and scented body lotions, we found 10 creams your skin will soak right up.

Formulated with nourishing ingredients like vitamin e, fatty acids, shea butter, peptides, and ceramides, these lotions help treat rough and bumpy skin, improve skin texture, soothe eczema-prone skin, seal in moisture, and strengthen your skin barrier.

If you've got extra dry skin, try applying a body oil before layering cream on top. This method has been a game changer for my dry skin. Plus, it adds an extra radiant glow.

As if that wasn't good enough already, these body lotions smell amazing, but we've also found some fragrance-free creams for those with ultra-sensitive skin.

Stay hydrated through winter and beyond with these body lotions so you can say goodbye to dryness for good.
